4) Presentation of a city from England or America:

Liverpool is a city from Merseyside, England. As of 2018, the population is approximately

500,000. Liverpool is the ninth-largest English district by population, and the largest in Merseyside. It lies
within the United Kingdom's sixth-most populous urban area.

Liverpool is the seventh most visited city in the UK. It is noted for its culture, architecture, and
transport links. The city is closely associated with the arts, particularly music; the popularity of the
Beatles, who are regarded as the most influential band in history, contributed to the city's status as a
tourist destination. Since then, the city has continued to produce hundreds of notable musical acts—
musicians from Liverpool have produced 56 No. 1 hit singles, more than any other city in the world.
Liverpool also has a long-standing reputation as the origin of countless actors and actresses, artists,
comedians, journalists, novelists, poets, and sportspeople. The city has the second highest number of art
galleries, national museums, and listed buildings in the UK; only the capital, London, has more.

Several areas of the city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004. The
city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007 and was named the 2008 European Capital of Culture.

Liverpool has been a centre of industrial and later innovation. Railways, transatlantic steamships,
municipal trams, electric trains were all pioneered in Liverpool as modes of mass transit. In 1829 and
1836 the first railway tunnels in the world were constructed under Liverpool. From 1950 to 1951, the
world's first scheduled passenger helicopter service ran between Liverpool and Cardiff.

In conclusion, Liverpool as a cultural city and also as an innovation center is of utmost

importance not just to the history of England, but also internationally.
